Promising Music

Promising Music is a record label inaugurated by „Consul Bodo", a management and consulting company run by ‚biz BOF' Bodo Jacoby. Bodo is on the spot since 1981 and started off as a European touring company and booking agent for the likes of Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Wire, Fuzztones, Alex Chilton, Front 242, Lounge Lizards et al. In 1989 Bodo entered PolyGram (now Universal Music) and stayed there for entire 13 years! In this time he was responsible, a.o., for the jazz section, his first biz approach to MPS recordings. Nowadays artistes like Alex Conti (of German „Lake" and „Atlantis" fame) or Siggi Schwarz (producer and guitarist - working with Michael Schenker, Steve Lukather, Geoff Whitehorn etc) benefit from Bodo's management and consulting skills. Bodo's twist between rock and jazz might now be on its climax with his work on MPS, a catalogue based in the jazz field with more than one connotation to (progressive) rock.
